Pray - John Prescott
The year is 2016, and America is no more. The United States, Canada, and Mexico now comprise a single, unified front to the world: the North American Union. Implanted ID chips are soon to become mandatory for every citizen of the NAU, and Trez Sleighton, a disgruntled ex-Army officer, takes to the mountains of Colorado to come to terms with the changing world—and his own hand in the whole mess.
Then sounds the trumpet.
Around the planet, people simply disappear.
In their wake, monsters of legend suddenly roam free to terrorize those who have been left behind. The legendary Nephilim, half-angels who struggle with their own demons, walk the earth in both darkness and light. The world’s most beloved celebrity, movie star Samouel Gallo, comes forward to make a long-awaited announcement that might mean world peace—or world damnation.
Meanwhile, a handful of the remaining citizens of the NAU feel the call to go west. Stricken by the loss of their loved ones, alienated by the inhumanity that has consumed their cities, these select few are moved by an inexplicable impulse to converge on a small town tucked away in the Rocky Mountains… a town most of them have never even heard about. As their paths turn toward Shaleford, CO, where Trez is struggling to understand an apocalyptic truth, the rest of the world waits to hear what tidings Samouel Gallo will bring. Is he the man of legend—a Bringer of Peace? Is he the archenemy of old? Is he… the Antichrist?
Open the pages of Pray and journey with those who set out to fight for their salvation as the world races to its horrific conclusion.
The Book of Revelation just got scarier.
Now Available on Kindle and Nook.
REVIEW:
Excellent read paced at a comfortable speed that builds to an apex and leaves you hanging waiting for the next book in the series (due to come out early next year.)
When one reads Pray, one wonders if Stephen King teamed up with Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye would their writing be similar. I would venture to say "yes." The subject matter of Jenkins and LaHaye, crossed with King's wit and unquenchable ability to tell the story as "truthful" as he can melds together wonderfully. The storyline is original and, although has few works published before this one, he seems to have already learned his "chops" and is developing his own techniques.
The blurb above, from the back of the book, does not do the book justice. This is a unique view of the Book of Revelations. One not only populated by both the dead and the living, and not just populated by demons, but populated by creatures from the darkest recesses of our imaginations. It is truly the beginning of "Hell on Earth."
If I were to recommend one book, or group of books to be read in the upcoming months, it would be books from this series.
